Dare We Ask the Widow

These castle walls are finished at last
Will they hold out the elements or just the past
Bury it all out in the yard
Down by the pond and the old livestock

They have eaten our fields down close to the ground
With the master dead and planted deep
Who can possibly care for these tired sheep

I can't bring the harvest home by myself and myself alone
These castle walls are finished at last
Will they hold out the elements or just the past
And bury it all out in the yard
Down by the pond and the old livestock
